FutureA-
The Chargers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The real work happened on the phones. The Chargers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick 9 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cooper DeJean at No. 38. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick69
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
The board had Braden Fiske higher than Round 3, Pick 5, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Payton Wilson in the Round 3 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick105
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
Nice patience on MarShawn Lloyd, who had no business lasting to pick No. 105. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at slot 106 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
The board had cheaper options than Blake Fisher at the 107th overall pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at the 110th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They jumped the gun on Jarrian Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They paid a round early for Luke McCaffrey in No. 140, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 225th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick241
Rnd7
LaDarius Henderson
They paid up for LaDarius Henderson at pick 241 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at pick No. 253 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
